MotoGP Rant part 2

Back on topic, yesterday I was talking about how the stewards are taking some crazy decisions. Well to continue in this vein at the Spanish GP at Barcelona there was an incident in the 125 race, Terol was leading into the final corner and had young French man Zarco just behind, Terol decided to take the slower defensive line into the corner and Zarco cut up the inside, they both ran wide onto the rumble strip on the outside of the corner and Zarco ran him out off the kerb.

By the time Zarco had returned to the pits after getting his maiden win the stewards had decided to give him a 20 second time penalty, thus robbing of the win. While the move from Zarco was hard there was essentially nothing wrong with it. But again it involved a Spaniard who lost out. I would also like to point out that Terol, once the penalty was announced jumped around like he had won in a disgusting show of poor sportsmanship.

  5. Considering it did not seem like anyone was playing dirty, i think Terol winning was just favoritism. makes it even better that he celebrated his "win" with class
